What we need are real police.
When I was at uni I worked in a convenience store. Some twat chucked a bottle of cider in my face as I refused to serve him (drunken kids had smashed up my fence at home not far away so many times, so no chance would I server under-age). Anyway I phoned the police, we detained the dude. We had to let him go in the end as the police didn't think my bleeding face was serious assualt.
They said that someone would come and take a statement the next day. TWO WEEKS LATER I had someone take a statement. During these two weeks that the police were too busy to see to me I must have driven past about 20 traffic officers. One time there was one of those mobile vans with 3 police in, and two policemen on motorbikes right next to each other. Good to know there are 5 policemen to stop you doing 34mph in a 30mph zone - yet none to attend to an assault. And despite having cctv, a name and 5 witnesses a mistake in police paperwork meant that nothing happened.
And when the shop next door to my home got broken into, and I phoned the police. Told them burgulars were still in the shop, a nice swift 24 hours later the police turned up......
